pdf  Ageing, Work and Health: An Investigation of Working Women's Experience of the Menopause

This research is expected to be completed later summer 2009. It aims to identify:

  1. the extent and nature of the problems that the menopause presents for women at work
  2. how this can be improved through design and management of work

Deliverables:

  • evidence based recommendations for management and occupational health advisers to inform policy, best practice and a work environment that will be conducive to the health and productivity of women working through the menopause
  • identification of the factors that would help women working through the menopause stay in work, thus reducing staff turnover
  • advice leaflets for older women working through the menopause and for their employers
  • scientific report on work related concerns of older women workers, and their effects on health, motivation and performance
